spanish wines - Valencia

Javi's "vin de village", this cuvée blends the main grapes of the place: Alicante Bouschet and Monastell. The first comes from a 0,8 hectare vine planted in 1966 at 700 m above sea level; the second, the Monastrell, comes from a small plot on sandy and stony soils at 620 m, planted in 1985. Production: 1,789 bottles, Surprisingly fresh for a bi-varietal from this region.

This is Javi's first white wine, made from typical Valencian and Méditerranean varietals. These grapes come from the slopes of the Penya Foradà, in Font de la Figuera. The Pla del Micalet (or Michael's plain, Micheal being the patron saint of Valence), is located at 730 metres above the sea level. Only 2000 bottles!

Javi Revert is particularly proud of the Simeta cuvée. It is his flagship wine in red. This wine is made on a small parcel of Arcos grape - a varietal he has saved. This vine was planted in the 1970's on the flanks of the the Penya Foradà, at Tossa de l'Agel (650m above sea-level), on sandy soils. This is Javi's most Mediterranean wine, taking advantage of the warmth of long summer days which suits this variety. Only 1007 bottles of this wine were produced.
